vikings on the rampage
Photoshop
October 2008


   
Commissioned illustration, depicting the battle of Maldon, Vikings versus Saxons, the Vikings won :-)
another one in a series for print publication for young boys.

this one almost drove me crazy, soo much happening in there, the composition was a nightmare, as such when i zoom in, i still see some areas that could use work, but its one of the trade-offs with trying to call a piece finished in time for the client i guess.

Overall im happiest with the composition, personally.

I tried to use painter a little more than usual in this one.
I plan to try and get to a point where i spend at least half my time in Painter.
have to keep reminding myself to close photoshop for a while, and get back in painter.

The overlay text boxes are not shown here.
these take up a large area on the right hand side.

I will be able to upload a version which has the final print layout, including text boxes in a few weeks

full copyright remains with the respective owners of this art, I have been allowed to use it in my portfolio.

high res version of the image is about 5000 pixels wide :-)
